The Young Feminist Party is a U.S.-based, youth-led feminist advocacy movement that grew out of the Generation Ratify campaign. It organizes students and young people around finalizing the Equal Rights Amendment and advancing an intersectional agenda of gender justice through grassroots mobilization, campus chapters, direct action, legislative advocacy, electoral work, trainings, and public education.
Campaigns to finalize and publish the Equal Rights Amendment; gender justice across federal, state and local law; reproductive rights and bodily autonomy; LGBTQ+ and trans rights; Title IX and campus sexual assault policy reform; economic justice for women and gender minorities (including pay equity and labor rights); disability justice; immigrant rights; and anti-violence and anti-discrimination measures.
Primarily grassroots small-dollar donations and member contributions, supplemented by fundraising events, occasional grants and in-kind partnerships; describes itself as people-powered and membership-funded.
Founders Rosie Couture and Belan Yeshigeta; partner and coalition relationships with the ERA Coalition and youth feminist networks; has worked in partnership with organizations such as the Feminist Front (now operating jointly as part of a broader youth-led feminist coalition), Gen-Z for Change, the National Organization for Women and other progressive feminist and labor allies.
